Abstract
An antenna system for use in a communication system is provided. A first antenna is configured to receive a first signal having a first polarization. A second antenna is configured to receive a second signal having a second polarization and configured to receive a third signal having a third polarization. The second polarization is rotated from the first polarization. The third polarization is rotated from the second polarization.
Claims27
An antenna system for use in a communication system, the antenna system comprising:
- a first antenna configured to receive a first signal having a first polarization;
- and
- a second antenna configured to receive a second signal having a second polarization and configured to receive a third signal having a third polarization, wherein the second polarization is rotated from the first polarization, and wherein the polarization is rotated from the second polarization by being substantiating orthogonal to the second polarization.
A method of operating an antenna system in a communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a first signal having a first polarization into a first antenna;
- and
- receiving a second signal having a second polarization and a third signal having a third polarization into a second antenna, wherein the second polarization is rotated from the first polarization, and wherein the third polarization is rotated from the second polarization by being substantially orthogonal to the second polarization.
